Yes, cruiser54 definetly seems to know his stuff. And seems to help EVERYONE out. Even the noobs like me who can't get the search to work right. Thanks again cruiser54!:party:

Took jeep on 500 mile trip. Ran pretty good. But now she's developing an off-idle stumble. 19+ mpg on the way there, little less on the way back, but it was tending uphill and into the wind. 4hrs nonstop both ways. I was very surprised how well the free jeep did. :)

Did the ground refreshing. They didn't look too bad, and no noticeable improvement. Cleaned connectors on driver's side of engine. Very slight improvement. Eliminated c101 connector. Noticeable improvement. Cleaned connectors on pass side of ingine. Noticeable improvement. Installed...

Got it all legal. Runs good. Still slow to start (will try another battery). She runs super well off idle, but still doesn't have a steady idle.

Did the rest of the tune-up. She runs better now. She's not legel yet, and has those darn 20s on her, so I haven't gotten to drive her very far (the 20s suck on the dirt roads, which is where we get to drive with no insurance and stuff). My j10 lost a ujoint, so the xj is gonna be getting...

cleaned throttle body when I adjusted the TPS. How clean should it be? I didn't pull it off and soak it in cleaner, or anything like that. Sprayed it with some carb cleaner and wiped off the inside with the rag. Wasn't that dirty. Not much carbon buildup that I saw. Wires, cap, and rotor...

Changed spark plugs. Old ones were autolites, black, and gapped around .80 Tightened remainder of intake bolts. Some were loose, some were not. Moved vacuum ball to underneath coolant reservoir, and ran those vacuum lines. Still takes a while to start, but my 'home-fixed' battery still...

5 of the 6 intake bolts I could reach from the top were loose. How many are there total?

will do the intake bolts. What's the torque supposed to be on them?

Replaced the ccv hose with a new one. Replaced the rest of the vacuum lines with soft lines. Filled coolant. Changing oil now. Will put in some Marvels. The oil was nasty, and there was a bunch of carbon in the holes in the top of the valve cover. Got plugs, will do them and wires next...

found a diagram. Will replace what i can with soft lines. The CCV will still need to be the hard line with the orifice, though, right?

Drove it around the block today. Idles rough, and wants to stall out for first several seconds when it starts. But runs pretty good. Will that most likely be fixed with replacing the vac line from rear of VC to Intake, or do I need to start testing more stuff? The gauges do not work. Well, the...

Alright, so 100 bucks on vacuum lines. On the list. Now, my rear window is shattered. Easier to do window or whole hatch? Driver's door is falling off. Top hinge has completely come free from body. Bottom is starting to. Any tips for fixing it? Will be buying a welder soon.

with the CCV hose, is there anything on the end of it at the valve cover? Like a Pcv? Or is it just a hose?
